It is easier said then done to forget the past and move on. History usually haunts all of us because no matter what it leaves a mark on our heart. Most importantly, history are there so that we can learn to not repeat the same mistake.Just be grateful that those people who you were with or things that happened to you made you still standing now. Things happen for a reason and tragedy and misery makes you tough to face challenges.

I have always said my life is a soundtrack. There are two song quotes I love and that have a lot of meaning to me.

"Every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end."
~Closing Time, Semisonic

Can't change the past so why let it haunt you? Can change the future but first you have to want to.
~Fight it Out, Pat Benatar

Stop clinging and you will be lifted high upon the current and see things from a totally different perspective.

It strikes me that you have NEVER spent the holidays making hot monkey whoopie with the Kupkake. If its change that you crave, perhaps that could provide the key. God knows, the keyhole...

I have been the bringer of change professionally for almost all of the time I've been in my current industry.

"We've always done it that way" (while often said in answer to the question why is something done a certain way) is usually my reason for redesigning it. To be frank - if the only reason we are doing something a certain way is because we have always done it that way, then we have just been given an opportunity to look for a better way to do it.

The chances there is a better way to do it, are directly proportionate to the length of time it has been done its current way. The world changes, and processes (or procedures, or methodologies, or theories) which do not change along with the world become less valuable, then a drag, then a problem, then a crisis. "Change or die" would be easy enough to recognize. "Change or you kill all around you" is much more accurate.

Okay, I'm done.
